KahnLOVE'S LARIAT "- pur.cl'The man who named this town i n tComa hit it just right," said the briki,owner of the "general store" in a and cWestern settlement; its main street the yamounting to little more than a trail Goldthrough the prairies with a few Wshacks scattered along either side. GranOnce a month the town took on thernevery evidence of real life-indeed citythe excitement ran to sensational fronlengths before the last cattle man sad:Pad filled his skin with "red liiu(;r" Mplacandl turned his faithful horse's head wthtoward the open country. platiThat one day and memoirab!' night 1happened when Diamond A Ranch chepaid off its cow-boys. Otherwise andth'o little town of C,,ma slept un~'s- a tol turbed through the other days of Athe month. But the ranch pay-day furtI meant so much to the storekeeper and reathe half-dozen bars and gamnbl:ng linehouses, that the owners thereof were iDwilling to wait a month at a t:nie to theScorrall the pay of the cattlemen and andstill declare a go0,d sized proufit on thOthe year.Care-free, reckless, happy and in halsome instances dissolute anr. incor- TLrigable, the cattlemen answered onlyto their own laws and set their ownstandards of conduct, gauged generally upon the capacity of the indivi- madual to hide away the most of liquor. eOf the rugged host "Sky Hligh" was fethe most reckless, playful and care- acefree. righs.Everybody had a"nick name" andEdward K. Landers had answered to wothe name of "Sky High" for so many fu!years that he had almost forgotten refthat he ever owned any other. B~uthis family name was reca!!lled to him whone dlay in an extao,rdinary .nd un-.. thee::pected manner. in"Sky High" recei"'ed a telegram.,that is to say, the telegranm wa-.arldressed to E:lwar:d K. I,.nders, and ,"Sky High" finally figured out that ,.iShis own regular namrne matchd t:o twriting on the Western Union envc- sorI pe. But just at the moment of its;receipt and acceptance "Sky H(i4h'i i r. was to bury too opcn it.With a bunch of his fellow cat!e- Imen he was busily engaged in pulling n."Skeeter" Milligan d.own from thewater wagon. "Skeeter" was "SkyHigh's" special pal, and it grieved ""Sky" to realizo that here was a .monthly pay-day being utterly wast.td :tpby "Skeeter" in total abstinence from th,at red liquor. firer During the process of restoring3a "Skeeter" to a state of convivality,'f t : telegram was forgotten, butr1 when the session began to slacken in.r the middle it was "Skeeter" who'fa sugge.ced that "Sky H.gh" had beIe- better take a look at the dispatch. 1Kng "Better see what's happening toat you, 'Sky,'" said "skeeter." "That cf, telespatch may be your death wariP' rant."s Then "Sky"' tore open the enveLnd lope and read:he "Your uncle died in New York and tr.d left you his millions on ccnliti',ns hv that you shall live for one year inI-m the manision on Fifth Avenue and1'st manage the estate. Five hundredom idollars at express oflce. Come im-t!Smediately." Ied When "Sky" recovered from the h•y shock he examined the telegram carerict fully noted the signature of his AUncla's lawyer and then started fortthe express otfce. There he found,. confrmatiin of the dispatch in theLr.i form of crisp, new green-backs to rof the amount of $500. tich Corna, on masse, stepped up to thethis bar and had many drinks. Tle twoscore inhabitants of the town, plusS"Sky High's" *ompanions, liquidaled the first installment of the fortune during the time "Sky's" telegram fr more money was in transit.The telegraph company paid "Sky"con- his second installment the next dayourt, and then the boys of Diamand A&pril Ranch went into convention Theyma.e "Skeeter" chairman and itmery was decided that "Sky" could notSleave Coma unless he took the wholebunch with him. As the motion wasmade by "Sky" himself, it was carried with a whoop-and confirmingin copious libations.While these events were transpiring Allen Landers was busy ini con-. New York planning, with Goldie Le1 term Croix, the music hall star, to schemefrt. to "Sky High" out of his inheritance.1 1917: Allen was "Sky's" cousin, and wouldi be the beneficiary under the will unSless "Sity" entirely fulfiled the conditions."Goidie, old dear," said Allen, "ifyou'll help me with my plans we'llSwin the fortune and have millions atry, Jr. our disposal.""Well you can trust me to playthe game, if there's anything likeSmillions tobe had," said Goldie. Andthen the young man disclosed his1~lot""You are to make love to the cowpuncher, make him propose to youani then jilt him. His heart will bebroken. he will sicken of New Yorkand go back to the ranch long before.the year is ever,'" aid Alltn. AndGoldie agreed.When Allen met "Sky" ^t theGrand Central Station in Ner'.,York,there was a surprise in store for thecity chap.
